Joe,
I can not get these to come out good taking them with my Camara.My scanner is not working.
But I do have a few and my Mom & Dad I am sure have a few more.

As my Dad (Jr. McLamb) he ran this track for over 15 years..They started back when they had to flag the cars off..You might not know this But they where one of the first tracks in this area to get a Christmas tree back in the 60s.
It use to be a 1/4 mile track untill Hwy.74 came through.Then it was cut back to an 1/8 mile track.

The Duster looks to be an old Ron Lyles car by the paint scheme.

I dont have any pictures,only memories,I raced their many times on Sunday afternoon back in the 70s.It is nice to still see some of the people that raced back then still racing today.It was a long haul every Sunday about 300 miles round trip but it was something that I looked foward to.

One of the cars also was Curtis Smith's Hot Stuff stocker.

That is where he got the Paint scheme from..He started racing that duster back in 1976 in SS/K.
Then I started driving it in H/R then we put a Tube chassis under it and ran some 9.90 & 8.90 Classes.
It is still racing Local today in Brackets at Red Springs.

Here is a Picture of it when I was driving it .
